How to Connect a Computer to TV Via an S-Video Cable

• Answer:

  The S-video cable carries two parts of a video signal on two coaxial cables joined together into one, with round four-pin connectors on the ends. The Y signal carries synchronization and brightness information; the C signal carries information for the primary luminance colors of green, blue and red. Any computer that has an S-video main or auxiliary output can connect directly to any TV that has an external S-video input jack. The design of the computer and its video card determine the presence of the S-video output. Difficulty: Moderate Things You'll Need S-video cable Instructions Plug one end of the S-video cable into the S-video output of the computer. Plug the other end of the S-video cable into the S-video input jack of the TV. Turn on the computer and the TV. Adjust the TV to display the external input associated with the S-video jack. Your computer screen presentation will appear on the TV screen. Tips & Warnings Tip: If your computer has any other type of video output than S-video, you will need to buy a converter. Converters are available from any format to S-video. Tip: If your computer -- such as a laptop -- does not have an auxiliary video output, you can buy an external video card and connect it via a USB port. The video card should have an S-video output or you could use any format and a converter. Warning: Some computer video outputs use a round seven-pin connector that looks like an S-video connector but with more pins. This connector may or may not carry S-video, depending on the programming of the video card. If it does, you need a special adapter cable to change from the seven-pin connector to the four-pin. If it does not put out S-video, you need a converter.
